Definitions
- the present invention relates to a film-forming composition and a polymeric film or coating comprising hemicellulose. It also relates to the use of said film or coating as an oxygen barrier. Further, the invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a polymeric film or coating comprising hemicellulose, as well as to a method for improving the film-forming properties of hemicellulose.
- EVOH Ethylene vinyl alcohol
- PVOH polyvinyl alcohol
- Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides that are biosynthesized in the majority of plants, where they act as a matrix material present between the cellulose microfibrils and as a linkage between lignin and cellulose. Hemicelluloses have been commercially used as sweetening agents, thickeners and emulsifiers in food. So far the non-food utilisation of hemicelluloses has been very limited. For example they have not yet been used commercially for the preparation of polymeric materials.
- hemicellulose exhibit poor film-forming properties resulting in either fragmented or very brittle films.
- the film-forming properties vary with the structure of the hemicellulose, which in turn is varying depending on its natural source and the extraction method. To be appropriate as a barrier material the film-forming properties have to be improved.
- WO 02/06411 the use of heteroxylans for the preparation of a film-forming composition containing a plant protectant is disclosed.
- the aim of WO 02/06411 is to provide a composition which is useful for applying a plant protectant to seeds or agricultural products.
- the purpose of incorporating heteroxylans is to obtain a film-forming composition for the application of the plant protectant.
- the molecular weight of the heteroxylans used in WO 02/06411 ranges from 100 000 to 250 000 g/mol.
- the use of high molecular weight hemicellulose produces compositions having relatively high viscosities, which makes the compositions difficult to handle practically.
- a biodegradable film is obtained by subjecting water-soluble hemicellulose to film-formation.
- the hemicellulose used has an average molecular weight in the range of 50 000 to 1 000 000, preferably in the range of 100 000 to 400 000. Again, the high molecular weights present handling problems due to high viscosity.
- the thickness of the films described in U.S. Pat. No 6,004,616 is 0,1 mm in dried state.
- the films are relatively thick, which requires a lot of material to be consumed in the manufacture of the films. As a consequence thereof, the cost of materials will be very high.
- an object of the present invention is to provide flexible films or coatings based on hemicellulose having a molecular weight of 50 000 g/mol or less.
- Another object is to provide a film-forming composition and films or coatings based on hemicellulose having a molecular weight of 50 000 g/mol or less, which can be used as oxygen barriers.
- hemicellulose having a molecular weight of 50 000 g/mol or less with at least one component selected from the group consisting of plasticizers, cellulose and an oligomer or polymer, and forming a film or coating thereof.
- the polymeric film or coating thereby formed can be used as an oxygen barrier.
- hemicellulose having a molecular weight of 50 000 or less is advantageous because it allows for a greater number of hemicellulose raw material to be used for the preparation of films or coatings. Further, there are more extraction methods available for extracting molecules having lower molecular weights.
- One further advantage with the present invention is the excellent oxygen barrier properties of the films or coatings produced.
- the measured oxygen permeability was in the same range as for the commercially used barrier EVOH and for films of starch.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that the mechanical properties of the films or coatings produced can be controlled by addition of various amounts or types of plasticizers, cellulose or blending with other polymers or oligomers.
- a further advantage is that the raw material in the present invention is renewable and can be extracted from biomass.
- Hemicelluloses are substituted/branched polymers of low to high molecular weight. They consist of different sugar units arranged in different portions and with different substituents. Pentosan-rich polysaccharides have a prevalent pentose content and constitute the largest group of hemicelluloses.
- a “pentosan-rich polysaccharide” refers to a polysaccharide having a pentosan content of at least 20% by weight, and a xylose content of at least 20% by weight; for example, the polysaccharide has a pentosan content of 40% to 80% by weight, and a xylose content of 40% to 75% by weight.
- Pentosan-rich polysaccharides in particular xylans, are the most preferred compounds for use according to the present invention, since they are not so sensitive to humidity.
- hemicelluloses may be used according to the invention, e.g. glucomannan, galactoglucomannan or arabinogalactan.
- Hemicellulose, in particular xylans, for use according to the invention have a molecular weight of less than 50 000 g/mol.
- the hemicellulose has a molecular weight greater than 8 000 g/mol.
- the hemicellulose may have a molecular weight in the range of 8 000-50 000 g/mol, 8 000-48 000 g/mol or 8 000-45 000 g/mol.
- molecular weights of the hemicellulose are 8 000-15 000 g/mol, 8 000-14 000 g/mol, 8 000-13 000 g/mol, 8 000-12 000 g/mol, or in particular 8 000-11 000 g/mol.
- the use of low molecular weights is an advantage as hemicellulose from many sources can be used and the extraction procedure is simplified.
- molecular weights of the hemicellulose are 15 000-50 000 g/mol, 20 000-50 000 g/mol, 15 000-48 000 g/mol, 20 000-48 000 g/mol, 15 000-45 000 g/mol, or in particular 20 000-45 000 g/mol or 20 000-40 000 g/mol.
- the use of somewhat higher molecular weights facilitates film formation. If even higher molecular weights are used, high viscosity can complicate the use of the hemicellulose to produce a film or coating and the extraction methods are considerably restricted.
- Xylans are present in biomass such as wood, cereals, grass and herbs and they are considered to be the second most abundant biopolymer in the plant kingdom. To separate xylans from other components in various sources of biomass, extraction with water and aqueous alkali can be used. Xylans are also commercially available from sources as Sigma Chemical Company.
- Xylans may be divided into the sub-groups of heteroxylans and homoxylans.
- the chemical structure of homoxylans and heteroxylans differs.
- Homoxylans have a backbone of xylose residues and have some glucuronic acid or 4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid substituents.
- Heteroxylans also have a backbone of xylose residues, but are in contrast to homoxylans extensively substituted not only with glucuronic acid or 4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid substituents but also with arabinose residues.
- An advantage of homoxylans compaired to heteroxylans is that homoxylans crystallize to a higher extent. Crystallinity both decreases gas permeability and moisture sensitivity.
- homoxylan which can be used according to the invention is glucuronoxylan.
- heteroxylans which can be used according to the invention are arabinoxylan, glucuronoarabinoxylan and arabinoglucuronoxylan.
- Xylans from any biomass or commercial source may be used to produce the films or coatings in the present invention.
- film-formation is a necessary recruitment.
- a film-forming composition of hemicellulose, in particular xylans may be achieved by various strategies.
- One way to do this is to add low molecular weight plasticizers.
- Another way to prepare coherent films is to add finely divided cellulose.
- a third procedure to obtain films is by blending xylan with other oligomers or polymers.
- An additional strategy to achieve better film-forming properties is to mix hemicelluloses of different molecular weights or structures. It is also possible to use a combination of one or more of the before mentioned strategies.
- the films or coatings may be prepared by casting of an aqueous solution or dispersion of the pentosane-rich polysaccharide.
- aqueous solution or dispersion of the pentosane-rich polysaccharide Although other solvents could be used as solvents in the present invention, water is the most preferred solvent.
- film refers to a separate sheet, which can be used e.g. for the packaging of food or pharmaceuticals.
- coating refers to a covering that can be integrated in e.g. a carton in order to provide an oxygen barrier layer.

- the film or coating may have a thickness of 50 micrometers or less, or more specifically the film or coating may have a thickness of 10 micrometers or less.
- the film or coating may have a thickness of 2 micrometers or 1 micrometer and still present the desired properties.
- plasticizer as used herein relates to a substance of low molecular weight, which increases the flexibility of the material.
- plasticizers that may be used are water, sugars such as glycerol, xylitol, sorbitol and maltitol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, glycerine and urea.
- the content of plasticizer is in the range of 1-60% by dry weight, e.g. in the range of 20-50% by dry weight.
- the cellulose added to improve the film-forming properties can originate from any biomass such as cotton, wood and agriculture residues or commercial source or be produced by bacteria.
- the cellulose is finely divided.
- the content of finely divided cellulose is in the range of 1-90% by dry weight, e.g. in the range of 50-75% by dry weight.
- the polymer or oligomer added can be of any type.
- the polymer or oligomer added to obtain a coherent film is polyvinyl alcohol of various molecular weights.
- the content of polymer or oligomer is in the range of 1-90% by dry weight, e.g. in the range of 20-75% by dry weight.
- oxygen barrier used throughout this application is meant a material, which has low permeability to oxygen.
- the oxygen barrier can be used to protect a substance, e.g. food or medicals, from exposure to oxygen.
- the polymeric films or coatings according to the present invention can be used as an oxygen barrier in food packaging or pharmaceutical packaging.
- films or coatings of the present invention can be used as an oxygen barrier layer on e.g. cartons and paper, possibly in combination with a water resistant material.

The solution was then poured onto polystyrene Petri dishes with a diameter of 14 cm. After drying in 23° C. and 50% RH for two to three days, transparent and more or less flexible films were obtained.
- the molar mass of the glucuronoxylan was measured using size exclusion chromatography with 0.05 M LiBr in DMSO:water (90:10) as the mobile phase.
- PSS Polymer Standard Service
- the following PSS (Polymer Standard Service) column set was used: GRAM 30, 100, 3000 (8 ⁇ 300 mm) and guard column (8 ⁇ 50 mm).
- the flow rate was 0.4 ml/min at 60 ° C., resulting in a system pressure of 58 bar.

- the samples were cut into dog bone-shaped strips with a width of 1.5 cm.
- the initial distance between the grips was 20 mm and the separation rate of the grips constant at 5 mm/min (Examples 1, 2 and 7) or 10 mm/min (Example 4). At least five replicates from each material were tested. For each sample the stress-strain curve was recorded and stress at break and strain at break were calculated.
- the crystallinity of the films was investigated using wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS). Films were milled to a fine powder using liquid nitrogen and the samples were investigated with a Siemens D5000 diffractometer. CuK ⁇ radiation was used with a wavelength of 1.54 ⁇ . 2 ⁇ was varied between 5° and 30°.
- WAXS wide angle x-ray scattering

- the same procedure as in Example 1 was used except that sorbitol was used as plasticizer instead of xylitol and the series included three levels of plasticizers, namely 20%, 35% and 50% was investigated.
- This example illustrates the production of films made from xylan and polyvinyl alcohol.
- the same procedure as in Example 1 was used but 0.75 g of polyvinyl alcohol (mw 20 000) was mixed with 0.25 g of xylan. Flexible films were formed. The measured oxygen permeability of the films was 0.18 (cm 3 ⁇ m)/(m 2 d kPa).
- This example illustrates the production of films made from xylan and finely divided cellulose.
- the resulting gel was poured onto a polystyrene Petri dish with a diameter of 14 cm, and dried at 50° C. for 48 h. After drying a flexible film was obtained.

"An industry rule-of-thumb is that a material is considered a "high oxygen barrier" if its OTR is less than 1 cc/100 in2/24hr (15.5 cc/m2/24 hr)." http://www.polyprint.com/faq<SUB>-</SUB>otr.htm. |
"Certain polymers are particularly useful in restricting entry of oxygen into packages. Such polymers, because they are highly impermeable to oxygen, are called high barrier polymers. They typically have an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) at 20� C of less than 15 cc/m2-day atm." http://www.intracen.org/Tdc/Export%20packaging/EPN/English/epn38e.pdf. |
